What is the event? In short, IndySec is hosting a community event based on the Metasploit Framework (MSF).

So, these guys, and a host of others, put this together as a way to raise money for Johnny's food program. Got it? Cool.

When is the event? Saturday December 12th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (with some social time afterward).

What do you get? A sense of community, a networking opportunity, instruction from local security professionals, an attack lab, lunch, and you assist in Johnny's life-saving mission.

What is the donation amount? $30.00. Yeah, take that training budget.

So who gets your money? The Hackers for Charity Food Program. This is a relationship between you and Johnny's charity. IndySec does not touch your money; however, we would like the collective group to fill out the donation form in a similar way. More on this later.

Are we going to teach the entire class?Nope. We would need two days to do it justice, so we will just hit some high spots over a Saturday afternoon.

Where is the event? BlueLock on the world wide west side (of Indy).6325 Morenci Trail, Indianapolis, IN(Note, you must bring ID when you sign in to the facility. This is a BlueLock requirement.)

* Performing back|track 4 updates: "If you are using back|track 4 as your platform, you can always update to the latest version of the trunk by issuing a 'svn up' in the '/pentest/exploits/framework3/' directory."

What we will provide you:

two (2) attack target systems per attendee -- one (1) Windows XP SP2 guest, and one (1) Ubuntu Server 7.04 guest, as described in the "Required Materials" section of the Metasploit Unleashed page- these attack target guests will:

be housed on VMware hosts, so you need not host these on your laptop

have the prescribed configurations made and packages installed

be on the previously mentioned internal network

DHCP address(es) on the internal network for your laptop/attack system

internet access via the internal network

the rest of the items mentioned in the charity event announcement (A sense of community, a networking opportunity, instruction from local security professionals, an attack lab, lunch, and you assist in Johnny's life-saving mission)

How do I register for the event?First, you need to donate $30 (or more) to Johnny's food program. This can be done in one of two places--the previous link or at the "Donate Here" page of the Metasploit Unleashed web site.

While not required, we would prefer that you use "http://indysec.blogspot.com" as the URL and "IndySec-YourFirstName" as your link text as shown below (click image for higher resolution):

Why put IndySec-YourFirstName in there? Because if you check out the "Donor Cloud" on the food program page, we can flood it with IndySec. Our original plan was to all use "IndySec" and make our name really big, but the Donor Cloud is not that advanced--it just updates the date and doesn't add up the donations. Boooo.

Anyway, clicking on the "Donate" button will take you to the following PayPal page. Simply log in or create a PayPal account to complete the transaction.

The confirmation page should look similar to this:

Next, click on the "View Printable Receipt" link which will present you with the following screen.

Print this page and take it with you to the event for your donation verification. Just save your PayPal email receipt in case you forget the printed confirmation.

After making your donation, please RSVP for the IndySec event by filling out the following form:
